If you are a hemophiliac (a genetic disorder) your blood will not clot. Also certain medicines such as Warfarin or Heparin will act as anticoagulants and prevent blood from clotting. People undergoing chemotherapy for cancer also have problems with blood not clotting due to a reduction in the number of platelets present in the blood.
